But he has only one home run during that stretch and only two all season. It's not like he was going Adam Dunn on the world in 2011 and 2012. His power numbers weren't where Fantasy owners were used to seeing them either. So even though he appears to be hitting better, we're all still left to wonder just what he's capable of doing.
My best guess is that, hot as he is, he's still not much better than the fringe mixed-leaguer we saw last year. He obviously has some power. We saw him hit 19 home runs last year. If he can combine those with his current batting average, yeah, he'll be pretty good. But seeing as he was a .270 hitter even during some of his pre-concussion years, I'm not sure assessing him at the peak of a hot streak is especially wise.

Manager Terry Collins and others within the Mets' organization recently shed some light on the issue. To compensate for a stiff neck earlier in the season, Niese unknowingly changed his arm slot. It sounds reasonable enough. Poor mechanics lead to poor command, and poor command often leads to a shellacking.
Those earlier reports of the Mets encouraging Niese to pitch to contact still concern me a little, but seeing as he was the 30th-best pitcher in Head-to-Head leagues last year, he's worth stashing for now in the hope he irons out his mechanics in his next side session.
